"I can not reccomend Little Blooms Photography enough. I fell in love when I saw previous photos of hers and immediately knew I was booking with her for my daughters 1st birthday shoot. We have done 3 different shoots and I can't wait til the next one because she captures my kids perfectly." - Angela T.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I book my baby's session?
Cake smashes *usually* take place around 11-12 months of age, so please contact me by the time baby is 8-10 months old. I can occasionally accommodate a last minute session, but typically I book up at least a month or two in advance.
How long will the session last?
Your session will last 60-90 minutes. Typically the first 10-15 minutes will be getting to know your child and simply playing to ease them into the new environment.
When will my session take place?
Cake smash sessions should be scheduled when your baby is happiest! That means, after a good nap and possibly a small snack (not too much because we want them to be a bit hungry). Some babies are great car sleepers and can get their snooze on the way to the studio, if it is a long distance. Typically most parents schedule these sessions after baby's morning nap, usually around 11am-1pm. However, they can be scheduled anytime during business hours.
What kind of cake should I get?
Cakes should either be a 3-tiered 4" cake or a two-tiered 6" cake. They should be vanilla (no chocolate!), and have fluffy icing for easy smashing. Icing colors should be white or pastels as bright/dark colors tend to stain skin. You can make your own or find a reputable baker. Two local bakers that I recommend are The Kake Lady (Quarryville) and the Cake Crafter (West Chester). If your child has allergies, Butter Cream Bliss by Bina makes amazing vegan cakes (dairy and egg free, soy-free upon request). All of the above bakers can accommodate nut-free ingredients.
What should my baby wear?
I have a large variety of outfits here that fit babies 6-18 months to make the experience stress free. There are dresses and rompers in neutrals and pastel colors for baby girls and onesies, overalls, and suspender sets for baby boys. However, if you choose to bring your own outfit please choose one that fits the theme and colors. My favorite shops to choose outfits from are Mia Joy Studio, Cora and Violet, Indigo and Lace, Threads & Evergreen, Pretty Pink Ruffles, Fox & Heron, and of course Gap Kids and Janie & Jack if you need something in store and quickly.
How much does a session cost?
The session fee is $200 and prints and products are sold separately. Prints begin at $190 and collections begin at $990. For more information, please visit the Investment & Art page.
What will happen after the session?
After your portrait session, I will start working on preparing your gallery and 3-10 days later, we will have your Viewing & Ordering Appointment. This is when you will get to see all your beautiful images, choose your favorites, and decide how you would like to proudly display them in your home!

"Kristen is amazing! She was very professional and made us feel so comfortable at the same time. She was patient and kind with my daughter who was constantly on the move. She captured beautiful memories. I cannot wait to see the rest of the pictures from my daughter’s first birthday shoot. I would highly recommend Kristen and Little Blooms Photography. We will definitely be back!" - Moira M.
